The Allied States of Arehwa is a colossal, socially progressive nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic population of 4.434 billion Arehwans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 27.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Arehwan economy, worth 147 trillion silver coins a year, is quite specialized and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 33,239 silver coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Arehwa's national animal is the stag, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Arehwa is ranked 250,718^th in the world and 31^st in Empires Forever United for Most Advanced Law Enforcement, scoring 883.64 on the Orwell Orderliness Index.
